Not So Shy
Noa Nimrodi
(Author)
Description
Twelve-year-old Shai hates everything about moving to America from Israel.
She's determined to come up with a plan that will get her back home. Maybe she can go back with her grandparents when they come to visit. Or maybe she can win a drawing competition that offers a plane ticket to any destination in the world as the grand prize. Meanwhile she's stuck navigating seventh grade in a language that used to be just a subject in school. As Shai faces antisemitism but also gains support from unexpected sources, she starts to see her new life with different eyes. Maybe home is a place in the heart.
A Sydney Taylor Honor Book

"Noa Nimrodi explores both uni-ver-sal themes of alien-ation and the spe-cif-ic chal-lenges that Israelis might con-front when accli-mat-ing to a new cul-ture. Read-ers will empathize with Shai's dis-tress." ―Jewish Book Council
